LoRA (2021) by Microsoft / collaborators

Low-rank adapters that made fine-tuning a local 4090 job instead of a cluster job.

A small adapter, a new behavior.

LoRA (and QLoRA after it) is why people own specialized local models: a 20MB adapter on a frozen 7B. The customization layer.

Opened local specialization of large models.
